I found out about the joints in the pelvis by lifting incorrectly. I didn't even know the pelvis has joints. I was unloading supplies. I bent down, picked up, stood up & turned at the same time - repeatedly over & over. Twisting while lifting is a no-no. Now I pick things up correctly and then I turn my entire body with no twisting. No more pain.
I went to a chiropractic school for treatment - teaching schools have reasonable charges. After my back felt better they taught me the 'correct' way to do things. I also think I got better treatment because I had my own student and all his/her teachers - not just one individual in private practice..
Ditto ... Chiropractic can help relieve the current problems, and help with prevention ..... a LOT!!!!! :) I know, as I can truly say "been there, done that"!
Like most things ... we need to learn the "right" way of doing things and what we can do to manage the problem, resolve prevent recurrences, or keep them to a minimum.
